"Know the truth"

JOHN OGILVIE HORNE

During his trial by Pontius Pilate on the night before his crucifixion, Christ Jesus made this statement to Pilate: "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." John 18:37; As many have done since that day, Pilate asked, "What is truth?" And like many, he did not wait for the answer but busied himself with human affairs.

A student of Christian Science who was experiencing much error in his private affairs often received this advice, "Know the truth." At first, he asked himself: "What is the truth? What do I have to know?" Later, as a result of study and prayer, his understanding grew, and he began to realize the meaning of the kind and helpful advice.
